Question

I am so lost on the below question. It's probably something so simple but I just can't see it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In nature and in our foods, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, BHT (butyrated hydroxyl toluene), and BHA (butyrated hydroxy anisole) all provide protection because they are readily _____.They are themselves ______ agents. (Hint: P- benzoquinone and hydroquinone are a pair in this chemical transition and can be shifted back and forth.)

Answer 1
